This daily Christian devotion with Pastor Balla reflects on Psalm 41:1–3 (ESV) and the blessing promised to those who consider the poor.

In this devotion, we hear how the Lord sustains His people in days of trouble, illness, and weakness, remaining our true protector and caregiver. The psalm ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, who became poor for our sake, entered our suffering, and restored us through His cross and resurrection. This Christ-centered Lutheran devotionoffers comfort for the sick, encouragement for acts of mercy, and assurance that God does not abandon His people on the sickbed. A timely meditation for those seeking LCMS teaching, biblical compassion, and confidence in God’s sustaining grace.
